This early 19th century New England farmhouse has been extended to accommodate a family of four with growing children. The new structure features a linear shape, only one room deep, with two glass facades hung on a post and beam structure, completed with a metal shed roof.

Designed by Bellomo Architects, this home extension combines different materials – wood, various types of glass, and concrete – that change at different times of day, depending on the color of the light. The completed structure surrounds a courtyard with an outdoor pool, and the new section contains a library and an artists’ studio.

Located in a Heritage Conservation area of Willoughby, Australia, the Chatswood House is an extension to an existing California Bungalow home. Due to the building constraints the bungalow facade was maintained, and the extension’s visibility from the street has been limited.

This 1,500 sq. ft. vacation home sits on a half an acre lot in New York. The house is cladded inside and out in 12” wide cypress boards, which give it a straightforward box-like simplicity.

John Pardey Architects created a new extension to an original 1950’s split-level home. Complementing the existing house design, the addition is an iroko-cladd box-like structure with a metal-clad, floating butterfly roof.

Designed by Dan Brill Architects, a terraced family home was extended into the back garden in order to provide extra space for a new kitchen/diner on the ground floor as well as a spacious bathroom on the second floor.

This beautiful home is a semi-detached, grade 2 listed period house in London. The extension project includes a narrow, light-filled double-height kitchen and two bathrooms.

Austin-based architecture firm Bercy Chen Studio reused natural and man-made resources in order to reconnect an original house with its site while preserving the characteristic of the site as much as possible – a recycled renovation, if you will.

This modern extension by French architecture firm Atelier Alassoeur, connects between two buildings: the main house and an old outbuilding. It serves as a living room with a total floor space of approx. 61 sq. meters.

Located in the foothills outside of Denver, Colorado, Faleide Architects took a traditional, 18th century schoolhouse and converted it into a 21st century, contemporary home. Although quite different from the original building, this modern home extension seems to take full advantage of the site without losing the history and charm of a bygone era.

Located in Athens, Vermont, this extension of an existing century-old barn is used as a recording studio, providing both relaxing rural views as well as a suitable working place for musicians.

Located in the town of Medfield, Massachusetts, this home extension by SsD Architecture, features a new second floor, filled with light, above an existing stone ground level as well as a new entry porch, connecting both the new and the original architectures.
